I agree with heads of state, battling this disease is akin to fighting a war.

Xi declared a "people's war" to fight this invisible enemy by mobilizing the force of the whole country. (Xinhua) march 10 Huoshenshan Hospital in Wuhan

The fight to slow the spread of COVID-19 is “our big war,” Trump said Thursday. “It’s a medical war. We have to win this war. It’s very important.” (Time)
“No matter where you look, this is something—it’s an invisible enemy.”march 16 coronavirus task force press conference

Who first used the metaphor "invisible enemy"? Possibly chinese media.
